   (A)   The Board of Trustees may, by special use permit, after notice and public hearing held by the Zoning Board of Appeals and subject to such protective restrictions that are deemed necessary, authorize the location, extension or structural alteration of any of the following buildings or uses, or an increase in their height, in the C-1 or C-2 Commercial Districts:

      (1)   Filling stations;

      (2)   Class II garages;

      (3)   Funeral homes and crematories;

      (4)   Group homes for mentally or physically disabled persons;

      (8)   Radio or television antennas used in conjunction with commercial broadcasting stations; and

      (9)   Any use which is generally similar to the uses permitted in the C-1 or C-2 Commercial Districts, which conforms to the other regulations for either such district.

   (B)   Before issuance of any special use permit for any of the above buildings or uses, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall report to the President and Board of Trustees regarding the public hearing thereon and also upon the effect of such proposed building or use upon the character of the neighborhood, surrounding land values, traffic conditions, public utility facilities and other matters pertaining to the public health, public safety or general welfare. No action shall be taken upon any application for a special use permit until the report of the Zoning Board of Appeals has been filed, and such report shall be made within 60 days after the matter has been referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals by the President and Board of Trustees. If the Zoning Board of Appeals recommends against the issuance of the special use permit, then it may be issued only by an affirmative two-thirds vote of the President and Board of Trustees.

   (C)   An applicant for a special use permit shall pay an application fee in an amount fixed, from time to time, by ordinance.
